I Scream, You Scream. They Don’t Scream for Ice Cream.

2 weeks ago | nytimes.com | Anna Kodé |Luke Fortney

The Museum of Ice Cream is a sugarcoated daydream — or nightmare, depending on your tastes. The location in SoHo opened in 2019, spawning out of a temporary pop-up three years earlier that reportedly had a 200,000-person wait-list.

Not a former president or an old-money heir, but one of the district’s new class of political power players — Mark Zuckerberg. It’s unsurprising for one of the world’s richest men to augment his real estate portfolio with a $23 million cash purchase. That’s a mere fraction of his estimated $185 billion net worth.
